JTD130... Ideal baby car.
Especially when you don't have the baby in the back and you can stretch it's 5-cylinder legs

They'll strech a little further now that 10 tonnes of carbon has been removed from the EGR and a new MAF is on order!!!
Was thinking of maybe a roofbox for the baby.........

Is it worth taking these off for a gentle clean periodically guys, with any / every diesel?

You could do, it's only a five minute job and the gaskets are a couple of quid if you need a new set. Mine had been driven by a OAP for 8 years so was full of soot and the big metal pipe going to the inlet was 1/4 of it's original size full of gooey carbon.
Don't think it would hurt and wouldn't trust the Fiat muppets to do it. Giving it a full service tomorrow when the bits arrive so should be as good as new.

Alternative give the car a very un-gentle thrash up and down the dual carriageway. Clear the rubbish out.

Lol where did you have the tuning done and how many miles did the 'wolf' have on her when you gave her a kick up the arse!
I had my Fabia vRS up to 180 and it was an animal

I didn't get mine re-mapped. Was going to but when they came to remap it they didn't have the correct adapter.
A few months later the clutch went. £1000 for a new one. Was on about 133,000 miles. A couple of months later I bought the Bravo.
